the eternal 811s are very very marginally slimmer compared to a pair of 660's in the same size. they have the same upper thigh and knee measurements and the 811's are only .25 inches smaller in the leg opening. so there shouldn't be too much of a difference. i own a pair of 811s and am about to own a pair of 660s but from what i've seen so far, you can't go wrong with either as both end up looking great with a lot of wear and washes.

with regards to sizing, i think you are better off looking at measurements from 660's instead of going by tagged size and different batches seem to have different sizing. the older batch of 660's are sized very big and a size 30 gives you a 35inch waist measurement. check the measurement charts for better accuracy.

not jeans but today i picked up these tote bags (since i collect tote bags) i found, on a whim. anybody got more info on these? a search on google didn't reveal anything to me.

nice tote bags!

i gave my wh800 to a good friend of mine as he was kinda interested in raw denim and stuff and i can't see myself wearing them in in the near future. he studies for one semester in groningen and has the pair now for nearly a week. and what happened on tuesday to him? some guy at a party asked him if he wears a pair of warehouse jeans from japan. in my 5 years of raw denim i've never been asked by a stranger what jeans i wear

^^ great story b_f, especially happening to you!

[ranonranonarat]

thanks tilmann, sounds like the ultimate opportunity to geek out...

[robotbox]

@b_f this has only happened to me once. Actually just a few weeks ago. A staff member at the Uniqlo flagship store recognized my Ande Whall's. I think his exact words were "Ande Whall, from superfuture, right?"

[kidgloves]

Ranon,

Those totes were/are given out by the warehouse stores around Japan. They come with really expensive purchases, so a pair of the higher end jeans or jackets I guess. The store manager told me that there are different colors depending on the store. I got the blue and yellow one as a gift after talking with store staff for awhile in Osaka.

B_F - that story broke my heart...

thanks Ranon

what size u usually wear on 811? and what size that you have on 600?

still confuse what size should i get the 29 or 30 :S

for a reference i got a pbj xx011 in 30 and it fits me slim but its pretty tight on the thigh and an inch room on the waist

im looking for a slim with enough room silhouette

Well, big has post wash measurements for the 660 and the xx011, so it shouldn't be too difficult to figure out. Both the size 29 and 30 660 are bigger in the thigh than the pbjs, and the size 30 660 is 1" smaller in the waist than the pbjs. Going off of what you've said, it sounds like the size 30 should be fine.

gotta love the wh staff....they gave me a couple freebies too (handkerchiefs) after geeking out with them on all the diff. properties of the denim, models, etc.....wish I could work/live there!

[ranonranonarat]

kidgloves: thanks for the information, really nice move they made. the graphics are great.

kravia: i got my eternals in a size 30 and my warehouse in a 31 because i wanted something with a little more room. like what setterman said, i think the 30 will fit you fine on the 660's. having said that, 660's are not going to fit like the pbj's though. the xx011 is very slim through the leg but looking at the picture, the 660's will still look great on you.

mentioned a couple of days back that i picked up a duck digger shirt. i remember first seeing it in a copy of lightning magazine's denim work styleand thought to myself "i want that!". might not be everyone's cup of tea but i knew i had to get it when i first saw it. turns out that i managed to find one in my size on sale (last piece) so that was cherry on top of the cake.

don't have too much experience with workshirts as i tend to try to control my spending when it comes to shirts and this is the first warehouse shirt i own. i have/had some other nice shirts from Buzz Rickson, K&TH, John Bull, Sugar Cane etc but i think this one is one of my favourites (not saying this because it's new) because the sleeves are the perfect length since some of the other shirts i won tend to have some really long sleeves. also love the detailing on these.

here is some minor chainstitch run-off which is not uncommon in workshirts but what i liked was the run-off on the left was on the front panel of the shirt (grey chambray) and the run-off on the right was at the back panel of the shirt (blue chambray), which tells a lot about how the shirt was sewed and constructed.

there you see the left pocket (which is not symmetrical to the right one in size and design). initially i thought all the stitching was tacked down (which actually doesn't make sense) but then i realised that they incorporated the stitching to allow for a pen which is brilliant.

love the double felled chainstitch on both sides, located on the underside of the placket of the shirt. contrast white stitching is a nice touch certainly.

here is my favourite part of the shirt. what you think looks like a normal collar...

actually reveals a hidden button down collar. very cool as i've never seen anything like this or recall anything that was made like this. the blank selvage was a really nice and subtle touch. definitely a very interesting piece because of this.

the normal underside of the shirt sleeve inseam.

a turnover reveals more double felled chainstitch inside. very nice.

sorry for the long review about a shirt which isn't exactly current but i haven't seen anything like this before and thought it would be interesting to share and also keep the warehouse thread more alive. first shirt from warehouse and definitely won't be the last. will love to see more of their shirts in future because i love the attention they put into their products. very easy to overlook but tells a million things when you see little details like that. will definitely be keeping an eye out for warehouse products in near future.

no need to rep my post btw, its mr rnrswitch 's 660 contest pair

nice tote bags!

In Groningen! It wasn't me, I just moved from there to Leeuwarden.

My Sunny Sports shirts have that same hidden button at the collar; its a pretty cool element on a shirt

Received that same tote bag when I bough my duckdiggers at warehouse osaka; afterwards people started approaching me to ask if I liked Japanese clothing brands, definitely draws attention. Did you wash yours yet? Guy at the shop warned me they can shrink to midget sized totes if washed at hot temperatures

I got one with my 1000XX 15th anniv jeans

lil update after wash.

[shinobi2000]

Wow THIS is how the pbj 011s fit on you?! I thought they'd be a lot tighter. I think the 660s are a lot looser than the pbj 011s aren't they? They're still "slim with room" but I doubt they'll fit exactly like in this pic

[Kravia]

no that's not me. it's mr rnrswitch's contest pair which i wanted my fit to look like.

[Maynard Friedman]

Snake,

How are those Warrens coming along? I think we're due an update!

[Kravia]

and yes, xx011 is tighter than 660, i suppose. gonna get me some 660 in 29 cause my ass is flat and i dont want it to look like a diaper like my previous W30 eternal 811

[shinobi2000]

yeah that's the problem with using other people's fit pics to try to gauge yourself...sometimes it's so far off because your thighs/ass is too different. I've been surprised too many times when I buy something based on another guy's fit

[ranonranonarat]

wow, looks like most of you have got one of those bags. slab, i don't think i will ever hot wash them as my machine doesn't have a hot setting. not really planning on using them yet as i have a thousand and one other tote bags. still nice design though!

[nate1492]

Warehouse 800 worn on and off for a couple years

[Snake]

Snake,

How are those Warrens coming along? I think we're due an update!

About one month of effective wear. Not much to show. I can see some subtle changes but it's hard to capture with my camera. I plan on washing them every 45 days.

My Warren DD108 and 15th 1001XX

[aho]

^cot DAMN!

[Maynard Friedman]

Thanks fir the update Snake, theyre looking good.

My Warrens are next on my 'winter rotation' list once either my Flat Heads or SDAs start looking a bit knackered. I think it'll be a while yet...
